Old Coin Op Shooter

[hackeynut]

I remember a long while ago, early mid 90's, playing a coin op game that was a shooter based around the Gulf War, or something similar. It had sort of that mid 90's cartoonish presentation and played a bit like MERCS or Ikari Warriors. Anyone have any memory of that one?

Maybe Retro Uprising - Arcade - Trick Trap (World?) ?

[hackeynut]

Nope, it was mroe modern than Trick Trap, and it has the modern theme of guns/tanks/etc. Graphics were on par with something like X-Men.

Thanks for the link though, I had forgotten about that old gem.

Kong is the man!

Looks like a pretty fun game.

Thunder Zone is the international title. Desert Assault is the US title that you probably played. Only difference is the title screen.

Looks like a fun one.

Yeah, its a pretty amusing little game. Especially enjoy the classic "guy on fire" animation.
